Ex-senator TabOr'S Divorced
Wife.

Denver Letter to Utica Observer.
Atall, fne-looklng, well-dressed WON
an was sitting neal the fare-box IN
a broadway street-car as lentered IT,
She had a high forehead, dark brown
hair, black eyes and remarkably m
telligent features. A friend sat BESIDE
her and to him she talked pleasantly.
Her tones were low and her English
was of the purest. She was apparent
" about forty years OF age, and my
attention was first attracted to her
by the fact that she had Ovorpald her
fare, putting in a dime Tor a nickel. l
made this even by giving her my fare
instead of putting it into the box
AS she left the car ! learned she was a
woman with a history, and that she
was no other than ex-senator TABOR S
first wife the wOman who made his
big strike for him by taking boarders
and keeping the store which supplied
the feed for the prospeCtOrs who
struck the Little Pittsburg mine.
This was the woman from whom Ia
Dor got his divorce, and it was this
woman ne leu W ulbLLy IbO PLCoSA'
Mrs. Tabor, whom he first welded ut
St. Louis, afterward another marriage
ceremony was solemnized at Washing
ton. She does not look like q disap'
pointed woman, and she is by no
means one of the frail reeds OF the
fair sex. don't think she wouldhave
disgraced her husband at Washington,
and l find that here at Denver her
standing is very good. She is in good
circumstances, the property which
Tabor gave her having largely inCreas'
ed in value. She is worth az least
$500, 900 to-day, and she lately sold
sixteen lots out of a piece of forty
which Tabor gave her for $50, 200. She
has left twenty-four lots and a house
upon them that cost $45. 600, and
she still owns the La Veta property.
This last consists of fourteen three
story houses, built in the best man
ner, and forming good renting proper

Wages in 1900.

Masters History.
The condition of the wage class oil
that day may be well examined; it is
full of instruction for social agitators.
In the great cities unskilled workmen
were hired by the day, bought their
own food, and found their own lodg-
ings. But in the country, OF the
farms, or wherever a hand was en-
ployed on some public work, they
were ted and lodged by the employer
and given a few dollars a month. On
the Pennsylvania canals the diggers
ate the coarsest diet, were housed in
the rudest sheds and paid SO amonth
from May to Noyerx5er, and So a
month from November to May. Hod
carriers and mortar mixers, diggers
and choppers, who, from 1898 to
1860, labored on the public buildings
and cut the streets and avenues of
Washington City, received $40 q year
or if they wished, $50 for all the work
theycould performfrom march, to De-
cember 20. The hours of work were
invariably from sunrise to sunset.
Wages at Albany and New York were
. shillings, or, as money then went,
40 cents q day; at Lancaster, So to
$40 a month; elsewhere in Pennsyl-
vania, workmen were content with SO
IN summer and S. in winter. At Bal
timore men were glad to be hired at
Is pence a day. None hv the month.
asked more than SO. At F~edericks-
burg the price OF labor was from So to
81. In Virginia, white men employed
by the year were given 916 currency;
slaves, when hired, we're clothed and
their masters paid FL q month. A
pound Of Virginia money was in feder-
al money $3 33. The average rate OF
WAGES the land lover was. therefore,
$65 q year, with food and, perhaps,
lodging, Out Of this small sum the
workman must, with his wife's help,
maintain his family.
